Chapter 529: Tide Attack

The tunnel was finally dug up.

A stone hanging in Li Dingguo's heart fell to the ground.

Now it is too risky to immediately send troops to Hanzhong City, Li Dingguo decided to wait, and it will be much better to cooperate with Zeng Ying's frontal attack and make another difficulty.

The Tartar is now at the end of its power, just holding on.

They only need one reason for their failure.

Li Dingguo made an appointment with Zeng Ying to launch a general attack a day later.

Zeng Ying also readily agreed.

He didn't want this battle to go on again.

The soldiers were already feeling tired, and although they had not yet reached the point of emotional breakdown, they could develop in this direction at any time.

A quick decision and taking Hanzhong as soon as possible is the issue that needs to be considered at the moment.

The night seemed to be very long, and Li Dingguo naturally didn't sleep very well. There are a lot of things for him to think about, and he wants to take all the possibilities into account as much as possible.

It was not until the second half of the night that he fell asleep, and after two or three hours of sleep he also woke up.

When the morning light was faint, Zeng Ying launched a fierce attack on Hanzhong City.

This time he was no longer alone. He also had helpers such as Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu beside him.

These two men are both good at leading troops in battle, and they also have a lot of experience in siege. The most important thing is that they can bring Zeng Ying's most needed soldiers, that is, combat power.

The golden drums sounded in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The Qing army in the city of Hanzhong was completely blinded.

In the past ten days, the Ming army has also attacked Hanzhong City one after another, but it has never been so brave.

Look at their posture today, didn't they take a strong pill?

Of course, the battle still has to be fought. Under Shang Kexi's command, they actively responded to the battle.

Defending the city is nothing more than relying on the old three.

Rolling logs and rocks were already ready, and they were thrown down the city without stopping.

Tung oil also burns boiling smoke.

As for the arrows, they flew like swarms of locusts.

At least in terms of momentum, they never showed weakness.

Shang Kexi is now determined to defend himself to the end.

I've been guarding it for so many days, and now it's useless to give up.

Besides, the reinforcements in Guanzhong must already be on the way, they just need to grit their teeth and hold on.

Since ancient times, great wars have been tragic.

Therefore, Shang Kexi did not care about the loss of soldiers at all.

As long as Hanzhong City can be kept, even if the loss of more troops is worth it.

Shang Kexi even beat drums in the city to cheer on the soldiers.

He knew that at this time of the battle, the two sides were fighting for one breath. Whoever can bite this breath will be the winner in the end.

...

...

"Let's get started."

Li Dingguo took a deep breath and gave the order.

It is clear that Zeng Ying has launched a frontal onslaught.

This is the best time for Li Dingguo to play.

When will you not be able to do so now?

The soldiers were already preparing to take their positions, waiting for Li Dingguo's words.

They dove into the tunnel, hunched over, and groped forward.

It's dark in the tunnel, but it doesn't matter.

They are already mentally prepared.

Although the speed of travel is not fast, it is steady.

At this rate, it won't take long for an army to sneak into the city.

And at this moment, the Tartars are bound to be ignorant of the surprise attack of the Ming army.

They were anxiously dealing with Zeng Ying's onslaught, where would they be distracted from thinking about these issues.

Li Dingguo is very confident in this battle.

In his opinion, the victory of the Ming army is certain, it is nothing more than how much price to pay.

Digging tunnels and attacking from the back is to minimize this cost.

The recovery of Hanzhong is only the beginning, so far the Ming army will switch from defense to attack, and the Tartars can only be beaten passively.

...

...

Shang Kexi, above the city, had red eyes and a hoarse voice.

He had a feeling that he was going to pass out.

The offensive of the Ming army was too fierce.

There were several times when he thought he couldn't hold on, but in the end he managed to hold on.

I have to say that the changes that have taken place in the Ming army in the past few years are too great. Is this still the Ming army in his impression who was weak and only dared to run away when he encountered the Qing army?

Why is it as if the Ming and Qing dynasties have been replaced?

At the moment, Shang Ke likes to take a break.

But he knew he couldn't rest. Because once you stop, I'm afraid you won't be able to tighten that string anymore.

The Ming army gave him a huge pressure like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and he felt an inexplicable panic when he took a breath.

"Shhh

Shang Kexi took a long breath.

The Ming army had already made a battering ram and was rushing towards the city gate.

Although the gates of Hanzhong City had been blocked by his order, he was still a little nervous.

The only thing thankful for is that the Ming army seems to have given up on the idea of digging tunnels.

As long as the tactics of the coffin bombing the city are not used, Shang Kexi thinks that Hanzhong City can still be defended.

"If you work harder, you will work harder for Lao Tzu. Drive the dog away, and one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver! ”

Shang Kexi did not hesitate to give heavy rewards in order to boost morale.

Money was no longer so important to him.

He had money, but he had to have the life to spend it.

If Hanzhong could not be held, the silver would also fall into the hands of the Ming army. It is better to reward the soldiers with this silver, so that they can have enough fighting spirit.

Sometimes it's just a breath on the battlefield.

In terms of combat skills, who is much stronger than whom.

"Quick, send some more people to Xicheng, where it is about to be overwhelmed."

Shang Kexi dispatched in the middle, and urgently dispatched troops.

The Ming army is trying to build a ladder charge.

Naturally, this is unacceptable.

The Ming army once climbed to the top of the city, but they were all pressed down by his orders.

In any case, he must not change hands if he wants to control the city.

The soldiers of the Qing army also knew that this was the final bottom line, so they fought very hard.

Once the head of the city is lost, the entire Hanzhong city will fall quickly.

Hanzhong is a big city, and there are many places that need to be armed.

Fortunately, the Qing army had enough troops to cover every corner of the city.

Although the Ming army's charge was brave, it could always be blocked by the Qing army at every critical moment, and it was difficult for the momentum to soar into the sky.

However, the Qing army was also very tired.

The feeling of nervous tension for a long time was very excruciating, and they didn't know how long they would be able to last.

If you can't hold it back, will it fall for a thousand miles?

They didn't dare to think about it.

In order to help, Shang Kexi ordered the cannon to be fired.

Although it is difficult for artillery to pose a threat to the Ming army at this distance, Shang Kexi still has a trace of illusion and luck.

Besides, no matter how bad the cannon is, you can still hear it, even if you cheer for it, it's good.

However, the Ming army was obviously not affected by the sound of artillery, and still attacked at its own pace in an orderly manner.

They even used small artillery to return fire on the Qing army at the head of the city.

Although it was difficult to destroy the castle towers, many battlements were still broken.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the smell of blood was everywhere.

The severed limbs and stumps were scattered all over the place, the corpses were piled up, and the entire battlefield in Hanzhong was like a Shura hell.
